Craig,

I love my http://www.aerocomposites.com/ prop. I have over 600 hours on the prop, including an overspeed to 3,400 rpm (not the props fault), and the prop doesn't even have 1 scratch on the leading edge. I have seen Hartzel's that looked like they needed an overhaul at 200 hrs on PA-180's.

Aero Composites uses a nickel leading edge. No inspection required for the overspeed according to Aero Composites.
